NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Promotes Capsule Recycle

Back to Press releases
Dubai, UAE

 

 

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is teaming up with the United Arab Emirates environmental management leader Bee’ah to launch a recycling program that makes it easy for coffee lovers to drop off their used capsules at convenient locations in Dubai and Sharjah. The move, in line with Nestlé's commitment to make 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025, is reminding people that “recycling your brew starts with you,” as noted by Raef Labaky, Nescafé Business Executive Manager at Nestlé Middle East. People will receive a bag with every online purchase and can also just ask for one without making any purchases at the drop off sites located at NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto’s pop up shops in Dubai Festival City and Mirdif City Center as well as outside the Bee’ah headquarters in Sharjah.

“Coffee lovers can thus play an active role in helping the environment, as we will be delivering all deposited capsules to Bee’ah on a weekly basis for recycling with their plastic products,” added Labaky.

Fahad Shehail, CEO of Waste Management Services at Bee’ah, said “Bee’ah is a strong believer in effectively reaching all consumer segments within the public sphere to encourage behavioral change and sustainable practices, and we are confident that our partnership with NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto will assist us in achieving these key goals.”

Shehail added, “Components recycled from the capsules include coffee waste and different types of plastics, and we will be aiming to further optimize the recycling process by segregating them further in the near future.”
